Sky's POV:

Dramatically sighing, I walked through my kingdoms square, seeing various crafters practicing battle skills with wooden swords. At the head watching was Jin and House, quietly whispering about something.

Ever since... Things went to hell, I've been trying to keep these few people close to me. I couldn't afford upsetting anyone else.

I continued my walk into the smaller homes for followers, chatting and waving to passing crafters. I met an overly excited crafter going by Hope who was dragging a friend behind her. At another point I caught up with Ethan, who was out with Sub buying green wool.

'He's insisting on building another masterpiece,' Ethan signed, glancing back at Sub, 'it's really cute how a green blob is so special to him.'

"Yeah. Good luck on it," I waved goodbye and kept walking to the wall that protected us from other bases. It was stone, and almost was as high as my amazing gold- butter castle.

Crafters wearing blue and gold uniform were patrolling the front entrance, their gold created badge proudly in sight. They were the soldiers of the kingdom, sworn to protect everyone in it.

"Sky! Sir," two said in unison as the noticed me, I waved slightly to get them out of their stiff stance, "no sign of any disturbance!"

"Good good. No one crossing through?"

"Cave and his son came through earlier," a female guard pipped up, "no one left."

I nodded at the report, looking up at the gate. It had metal bars welded together that would drop at the ring of an intruder. I try my best to keep people safe here.

"Good afternoon Sky."

I turned to see Cave walking up with a bag slung over his shoulder, in his other hand his son was hiding behind him. I didn't know much about Skit, just that he looked nothing like Cave. Grey eyes, black hair. Nothing like his father's brown hair and eyes.

"I heard you were stopping through," I commented, getting a nod from him.

"Visiting a couple of friends," Cave explained, "then we were heading back to Spawn City to catch up with Swift."

We chatted for a little while longer, and I even got Skit to say a few things. He was never talkative to me. I've saw Deadlox talking with them before with Mu. And Skit was perfectly ok near him.

I made my way up the wall and to the top edge, seeing more guards patrolling. I could tell they were bored, most were sleeping. I didn't need to comment though, nothing dramatic was happening.

Well, besides two soul being taken from a friend and ex friend.

Passing my a break off, I noticed a smaller amount of guards on the east wall, causing me to worry slightly. I made my way that way, seeing less and less guards up ahead. Something caught my eye then, a flash of a shadow moving.

"Wha-" I cut myself off as the shadow moved more by itself. I stepped closer to it.

In a flash, a bright light blinded me. A few screams were heard, but that became background noises when two hands wrapped around my neck.

"Heart of gold,
But still so cold.
Now you're soul belongs to me,
And you can't disagree."

A black void started to fill my vision, and the last thing I saw was a smiling figure over me.
